My special sister, I want you to know how much you mean to me.
My special sister has strength and courage her whole family can see.
My special sister showed us all how to handle life's blows.
My special sister took it all in stride, smiled, and said, “That's how it goes”.
My special sister, through all her pain, never once gave up or complained.
My special sister has dignity, warmth, and inner beauty that can't be explained.
My special sister, with all she was going through, always thought of others.
My special sister always took time to give of herself to friends, sisters and brothers.
My special sister was always there with her kind thoughts, deeds, and caring.
My special sister is well known and loved for her capacity for sharing.
My special sister needs to know how much she means to those who love her, especially me.
My special sister's strength, courage, and beauty are a shining example for all to see.
My special sister has carried a heavy burden for quite a long while.
My special sister would not allow us to share any of her pain but always her smile.
My special sister is surely a guardian angel sent from above.
My special sister, these heartfelt words are for you, from all of us who care, with all our love.

There are not enough words in the dictionary to express what A special person Tonya was, there is A hold in my Heart now because of her leaving and we will never forget her.
I am sure if tears could build bridges and Love could build highways we would all go up to Heaven and bring her home again.
We miss you Little girl

To Amy, Marty, Sharon and family,
Please accept my sincere condolences for the death of Tonya. It has been many years since I have seen Tonya but what I remember most is her great sense of humor, her contagious laugh, and the sparkle in her eye when she flashed her bright smile. She had a charismatic personality and a great presence; I'm sure she will be missed by many.
I know words do little to lessen grief at a time like this. May you take comfort in the arms of each other and in knowing that Tonya is no longer suffering.
My heart goes out to you during this time of great sadness.
With deepest sympathy,
Valerie Bachinsky

Michael,
Words cannot express the sympathy Sheila and I have for you. We never had the priveledge of having met Tonya but know the joy you, Tonya and Lori brought to my mom's life and from everything I have read about Tonya, she brought joy to the lives of so many others as well. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and Bailey at this very difficult time in your lives. Always remember that God is good and He needed her more with Him than here on earth.
God Bless Tonya, while He looks over you and Bailey.

No words can ease your pain at this time. Only time and God's grace can heal you. I am so very sorry for your loss. Tonya has no more pain now and walks with our Lord. May she rest in peace. I will pray that my dear friend, Tracy, who passed June 10 from that viscous cancer, will help to guide Tonya in heaven. God bless you all and I will pray for your comfort in this very sad time.

To the Martinez and Hilton Families,
I was honored to have went to high school with Tonya and graduated with her in 1988. We also lived in the same neighborhood. She was a wonderful person who always could make you laugh and smile. We were not close but I definitely would say we were friends! She was nice to everyone.
The world lost a beautiful person on December 1st but Heaven gained an angel. She fought very hard but apparently God needed her more than we did.
Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers at this most difficult time.
With Deepest Sympathy,
Tammy Blanchard - Sprague

When I think of Tonya I remember the kind and generous disposition she always had. She ALWAYS looked out for everyone. Always making sure everyone was take care of before herself. I still chuckle inside when I think of what she use to call me "Beazley!" lol. She was funny.
This week, I will continue to celebrate her life and keep in my mind the wonderful things she did for others when she was here.
God Bless Tonya.
